MacBook Pro 13 Touch Bar (2016) vs MacBook Pro 15 (2017)

The MacBook Pro 15 2017 wins on performance with its i7-7700HQ (4c/8t, up to 3.8 GHz) and AMD Radeon Pro 555 (2GB GDDR5), outclassing the 13-inch’s i5-6267U (2c/4t, up to 3.3 GHz) and Intel Iris 550. The 13-inch model suits light tasks like web browsing and document editing, thanks to its 1.358 kg weight and 8-hour battery life from its 49.2 Wh battery, making it easier to carry daily. The 15-inch model is better for video editors and coders needing 16GB RAM and dual-channel memory, plus the Radeon Pro 555 handles light 4K rendering and GPU-accelerated tasks the 13-inch cannot. In UAE at AED 1799 vs AED 1849, the 15-inch wins because it offers double the RAM and a dedicated GPU for the same price; in India at ₹44900 both, the 15-inch wins on value because 16GB RAM and Radeon Pro 555 deliver tangible performance gains over 8GB and integrated graphics.
